I Sealed Sukuna’s Finger#529+530: New Party Location Acquired, Serafall Can Do Anything
🕑 Added 2025-11-29 12:19:15 +0000 UTCOne fist stills wind and rain; across four seas, no gods remain.
No flashy process whatsoever—Bokue threw a single punch, then directly returned to ground level.
Behind him, the deep-sea behemoth—shattered into who knows how many tens of thousands of pieces—scattered downward in a flurry toward the frozen ocean.
Having witnessed the young man's explosive slaughter of the beast from start to finish on the shore, Serafall was completely stunned.
"Wow~ Bokue-kun, isn't that a bit too excessive?"
"Where?"
Bokue didn't understand what point had amazed her.
Serafall raised her hand, pointing at the massive chunks scattered across the frozen ocean surface like fresh produce at a supermarket—fragments of the deep-sea behemoth. She quietly swallowed.
"So Bokue-kun, you relied purely on brute force to smash that big black bug?"
"Yeah."
Bokue saw nothing wrong with that.
Though from Serafall's perspective, that Leviathan's armor had indeed been excessively thick, for Bokue Keikain no such problem existed.
As long as damage was high enough, one punch would obliterate everything—regardless of black shell or magical barrier, directly shattering it all. Shield, armor, and HP bar drained together, with an additional three hundred bars of debt on top.
"But earlier, big brother told me he used to be an onmyōji..."
Yume couldn't help but add a comment.
Right—what kind of onmyōji had such terrifying physical strength?
Serafall mentally complained as well.
'Sounds like a magic specialist, but turns out you maxed physical stats first?'
"Well, I'm a body trained. Onmyōji are divided into body and spell training types."
Bokue shrugged, casually making things up.
Oh, though that couldn't quite be called making things up. Theoretically speaking, his existence did prove that onmyōji could take the body training path.
Just like how Kakarot still called himself a Turtle Hermit School martial artist—but you didn't see Master Roshi activating Ultra Instinct to beat down Jiren.
"By the way, more importantly than that..."
Casually changing the subject, Bokue turned to survey the surrounding ocean.
Because Serafall's magic had been released, the previously completely frozen ocean surface had begun slowly melting and decomposing.
After all, it was summer. Sunlight intensity far exceeded winter's, and under direct solar radiation, ice and snow melted quite rapidly.
But compared to the entire frozen ocean, it was still far too slow.
"Better speed things up a bit."
Bokue pressed his ten fingers together before him, forming a hollow sphere.
Instantly, as magnetic field power spread rapidly outward with his body as the epicenter, wherever it passed, ice and snow across the ocean surface melted immediately, restoring the previous wave-tossed appearance.
Simultaneously, the artificial island that should have been empty after being restored to factory settings also began undergoing terrain changes.
Mountains and forests rose from the ground, flowery meadows manifested from thin air, followed by beaches, seawater bathing areas...
"Wow~"
Serafall's face showed amazement.
Though she didn't understand how this was accomplished, clearly—since Bokue was here—he could only be the one doing it.
"Is this... turning it into a seaside resort?"
"Pretty much."
Only after terrain adjustments completed did Bokue lower his hands again.
"Like I said before, I'm turning this place into a resort. It's conveniently empty space anyway—might as well use it."
"Mm~ not bad at all."
Serafall thought briefly before her eyes lit up involuntarily with anticipation.
"Hehehe~ choosing to become the Foreign Affairs Satan was definitely the right call. Unlike Sirzechs-chan who's stuck in the demon realm every day handling all sorts of political affairs—barely gets a few days off all year, busy spinning like a top—at least I can slack off in the human world and enjoy life a bit... Huh? Though speaking of which, Bokue-kun, isn't your resort missing something?"
"You mean a villa?"
"Obviously!"
The Satan girl placed her hands on her hips, humming proudly.
"Judging by your personality, Bokue-kun, building this kind of resort is obviously for your own use, right? After all, all of Itogami Island is your private territory. You're definitely not opening it to the public, so naturally you need a seaside luxury villa—one that can house all the girls, where you can thoroughly do this-and-that and that-and-this every day..."
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
Bokue urgently stopped her from continuing.
"Regarding the villa, I'll handle it later. I just remembered I have one sitting unused—I'll move it over. Anyway, don't worry about that. Also... Yume's right here. Do you really have to talk about this stuff right now..."
"Huh? What's the problem?"
Serafall looked at Bokue strangely, then made eye contact with the small nightmare girl beside him. Her expression seemed somewhat baffled.
"Yume-chan is a nightmare, isn't she?"
"What does being a nightmare have to do with anything..."
Bokue was speechless.
Seriously, even if Yume was a nightmare, she was still an elementary school nightmare. How could she possibly be like a certain pigtailed nightmare girl at home who opened her mouth with nothing but dirty jokes or just straight-up raunchy talk?
"Mm, I didn't realize Bokue-kun was so unfamiliar with nightmares."
Serafall looked somewhat troubled as she tapped her temple with her index finger.
"For nightmares, age doesn't really matter. Due to their racial characteristics, they're basically naturally knowledgeable about... mm, never mind, I won't say more."
After a brief pause, the Satan girl chose not to continue.
"So now the question arises."
Bokue turned toward the nightmare girl beside him, who for some reason seemed somewhat flustered.
"What should we do about Yume going forward?"
This was indeed a problem.
Though they'd managed through patient persuasion at the café to talk down Yume from her mental collapse—when she'd probably been planning to challenge concrete—that only addressed the immediate crisis. The underlying issues remained unresolved.
For instance, her teacher, classmates, and parents who were currently comatose in the hospital due to being affected by Yume's nightmare powers.
Setting everything else aside, for the current Eguchi Yume, returning home was definitely not an option.
And Bokue had no intention of playing family mediator. He didn't have that kind of patience.
At least based on the nightmare girl's self-reported causes and effects, if the parties involved were replaced with Bokue Keikain, the most time-efficient solution would be sinking all those people to the ocean floor along with Leviathan.
But the current party involved wasn't Bokue Keikain—it was a certain nightmare girl. So the final outcome still depended on what she herself wanted.
"I..."
Facing the gazes from both of them, the nightmare girl who'd barely regained her senses blushed slightly, pressing her cherry-pink lips together. Her small hands clasped nervously before her, seeming somewhat hesitant.
A full ten-plus seconds passed before the nightmare girl cautiously spoke.
"Yume wants to... be with big brother from now on... is that okay?"
<><><><><><><><>
Two minutes later, as twin white contrails tore across the sky, Bokue descended from above alongside Serafall—who held Yume's hand—both landing steadily on the coastal beach of a deserted island roughly ten-plus kilometers from Itogami Island.
By now it was approaching noon. Even autumn sunlight blazed increasingly bright.
The Satan girl's feet pressed into the soft sand as she raised one hand to shade her eyes, surveying their surroundings. As far as the eye could see, the island's forests and vegetation grew lush and verdant, showing zero trace of human development.
"Mm~ so Bokue-kun, where exactly is this place? Doesn't look inhabited at all?"
"...You followed me here without knowing where we were going?"
Bokue had been about to walk forward when these words made him stop and turn back, staring at her with astonishment.
"Well, I mean, once I saw Bokue-kun heading out, Yume-chan and I couldn't just stand around waiting, right?"
Serafall tucked both hands behind her back, puffing out her cheeks with a small huff.
"So come on, tell us—where exactly are we?"
"This place is... forget it, explaining would be troublesome. Better to just show you."
"Eh?"
The moment his words fell, Bokue raised his hand, extending his index finger to tap lightly at empty air.
Ding.
Accompanying that crisp sound, ripples instantly spread through the atmosphere like water.
The next second, the barrier covering the island's exterior rapidly dispersed, revealing the island's true appearance.
Of course, nothing changed too dramatically.
It remained that uninhabited wasteland that didn't look particularly livable—except now several severely weathered fortifications dotted the beach.
Along with a standalone small villa standing right on the sand.
As expected, this deserted island was precisely where Bokue had first encountered Sayaka and La Folia back then. And that standalone villa before them was where they'd once resided together.
"Ah? So it was an illusion barrier? And that little villa is..."
Noticing the environmental changes, Serafall asked curiously while examining their surroundings.
"Something I made myself before."
Bokue stepped across the beach toward the villa ahead.
"Back then, Itogami Island wasn't my territory yet. Even if I brought it back, I'd have nowhere to put it. So I just left it here temporarily, using a barrier for light camouflage."
"I see..."
Serafall nodded with understanding.
"So we're here now to bring this villa back?"
"Exactly."
Bokue arrived at the villa's entrance. With a light gesture from his raised hand, the villa—previously sitting steady as a mountain on the beach—immediately loosened, slowly rising into the air like that house from Up.
"Ah, wait wait wait!"
Just then, Serafall suddenly pulled the nightmare girl beside her forward, approaching the young man.
"...What is it?"
Bokue paused his actions, glancing at her with confusion.
Serafall smiled sweetly, pointing at the villa that had already risen twenty centimeters off the ground.
"So the plan is to just air-freight it directly back like this?"
"...Unless you have some better alternative?"
"No, what I mean is—"
The Satan girl clasped her small hands before her, smiling even more happily.
"Can Yume-chan and I go inside first? After all, we flew the whole way here, and Bokue-kun, you flew so fast—big sister is quite exhausted, you know~"
"?"
Bokue raised a small question mark.
Setting everything else aside, a high-ranking Satan complaining about being tired after two minutes of flight—seriously?
"...Don't tell me you actually want to live inside?"
"Ehehe~ figured it out?"
Serafall blinked, attempting to pass things off with cuteness.
"But there's no helping it! After all, as the demon realm's Foreign Affairs Satan stationed on Itogami Island, I've been staying in hotels this whole time. Mm... not that hotels are bad—I've been quite comfortable actually. But still, having a diplomatic office set up in a hotel room is a bit strange no matter how you look at it. I need a proper place! Please, Bokue-oniisan~ Serafall can do anything"
By the end, even her voice turned syrupy sweet.
Bokue pressed his palm to his forehead speechlessly. "Arranging accommodations for you isn't a problem, but the issue is I'm planning to place this villa on the resort island for our use. Later I'll connect the villa's location with the space above Keystone Gate. Plus this villa is too small—I'll need to expand it later, just like Rias's old schoolhouse."
"Oh, that's even better then!"
Serafall nodded her small head rapidly, her twin pigtails undulating like waves behind her, her eyes practically glowing.
"If you're expanding it, that means not just Yume-chan and me—even Sona-chan can move in together! When that happens, we sisters can do anything!"
Bokue: "..."
With the conversation having reached this point, what more could he say?
No choice—Bokue could only wave dismissively.
"Whatever. Go ahead and get in for now. Remember to come down once we arrive—I need to handle the expansion."
"Yay~"
Having received the young man's personal approval, Serafall executed a nimble spin before throwing up a big scissor-hand victory sign toward the nightmare girl beside her.
"Alright then, Yume-chan, let's head inside!"
"Mm... okay."
Ten minutes later, a fully expanded seaside villa settled steadily atop Keystone Gate.
❁❁❁❁
Daytime passed just like that.
As sunset descended and dusk painted the sky, the twice-daily routine spatial fluctuation rippled across Itogami Island's airspace. The many girls who'd spent the day at school—including Rias—finally got out of class.
Scene transition to the old schoolhouse interior.
"Huh? Serafall-sama is moving in here too??"
Inside the familiar first-floor parlor, the red-haired girl who'd been feeling slightly relaxed after school stared in shock at the Satan girl before her, then at the seaside villa visible through the window that definitely hadn't existed this morning.
"Well, basically it comes down to that~"
Serafall, meanwhile, wore nothing but smiles.
"After all, I'll probably be stationed long-term on Itogami Island from now on. Always staying at hotels just feels kind of weird, so I asked Bokue-oni... Bokue-kun to help arrange accommodations."
Bokue raised both hands. "Just to clarify upfront—I was originally planning to use this as our vacation villa. Serafall's the one who took a liking to it..."
'Mm~' So it's not that Serafall-sama has also been claimed by Bokue?
Rias hesitated momentarily.
"Though speaking of which, always making Serafall-sama stay at hotels really isn't ideal. She definitely should have proper accommodations..."
"Ufufu~ I knew Rias-chan would think so too!"
Serafall happily threw up a scissor-hand sign, smiling brightly.
"But don't worry—under normal circumstances I won't go out much anyway. So Bokue-kun, you all just do whatever you normally do. I won't cause trouble in your daily lives."
Mm...
Now there seemed to be absolutely no grounds for refusal.
"Then that settles it."
Bokue glanced through the window at the seaside villa bathed in sunset light.
"I'll test the villa's teleportation array again tomorrow. Barring any issues, we can head to my new resort island for vacation this weekend when you're off school."
"Roger~"
Serafall was first to raise her hand high in agreement.
"Big sister will go pick up Sona-chan in a bit!"
